Ever since the 1930s when Wright projected lunar images on to emulsion-coated globes people have wanted to see the all parts of the Moon from overhead.

There have been various software globifications of lunar images and now Francisco adds another one, this time rotating like a carousel. I like it a lot.

Ever since the 1930s when Wright projected lunar images on to emulsion-coated globes people have wanted to see the all parts of the Moon from overhead. I guess it even goes further back to Russell's construction of the first lunar globe in 1797. There have been various software globifications of lunar images and now Francisco adds another one, this time rotating like a carousel. I like it a lot. Especially impressive is the two-ring structure of the South Pole-Aitken Basin visible above before starting the video.
